As my colleague streiff wrote a while ago, (alleged) Republican Speaker of the House just pushed through a “clean” bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and funded Barack Obama’s plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegals. Boehner has once again flipped the bird to the conservative base and shown his cowardice in the face of the Democrat meanies who threaten to throw | Read More »

I SAID… Senator Udall? Will President Obama be campaigning with you in Colorado? (Transcript below via RCP link) DANA BASH, CNN: Is he a liability for you, the president back home? SEN. MARK UDALL (D-CO): When the president comes to Colorado and talks about our all-the-above energy approach — we’ve got lots of natural gas and solar power — that resonates with Coloradoans. When he | Read More »

Let me be blunt. Google censors political speech. The world has known for some time that Google’s algorithm can be programmed to censor websites and keywords. Back in 2005, CNET claimed all its reporters were blacklisted for a year for posting information about your CEO Eric Schmidt — information that was publicly available through Google’s own search engine. On a grander scale, Google also proved | Read More »

I run a conservative blog (Jefferson’s Rebels), and publish something almost daily. Sometimes after upload, I will Google some of the articles or graphics to test the search engine. For all those I have tested, which does not represent every upload, every article and every graphic image has appeared in the search engine–with two glaring exceptions regarding Obama. A few weeks ago, I went to | Read More »

It turns out that the ‘Perfect 200 Year Record’ I cite above and in the previous article were not quite so perfect and Adams, not Jefferson was the president who finally got it right. And the perfect record is actually a little less than 200 years old, because the issue was not finally settled until after the War of 1812. Jefferson, the first to | Read More »

Another 444 Days? Thomas Jefferson dealt with a similar situation with such finality and effectiveness that his policy was enshrined in the marine hymn ‘…to the shores of Tripoli…’ and for 200 years, nobody – state, individual, or pirate crew – desired to threaten American shipping because the results were entirely predictable. Now suddenly, the results are not so predictable to our discredit. Or at | Read More »

The First Casualty of War Is the Truth; Obama’s first Casualty was Bi-partisanship “The sky will open. The lights will come down. Celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect!” So said then candidate Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign as BO tried to paint her as a part of the old-style | Read More »

Last night I posted an entry under the user name BuckeyeBob. There are many good reasons for using a pseudonym online. All of those reasons were trumped by the contents of that entry. In hindsight, I realize that it is fundamentally unfair to call a man a coward while hiding behind a false name. I apologize to Senator Obama. This won’t happen again. Actually, I | Read More »

It’d be accurate either way. I have one difference of opinion with Ed Morrissey about this: the NRSC should get it down to 30 seconds, and set up the full video at its own dedicated website. It’s one of the better campaign slams we’ve seen this cycle, and very good on its own merits – but a couple of minutes of air time is still | Read More »
